65-year-old man with concealed carry license turns tables on would-be car thieves
An armed driver and his female colleague miraculously survived a ferocious gun battle that broke out when carjackers attempted to steal their vehicle in Chicago, according to reports.
The shocking incident unfolded in the Windy City just before 5 a.m. last Wednesday morning.
A 65-year-old man was driving himself and a female co-worker, 40, to their jobs at O’Hare International Airport when an SUV full of armed suspects flew towards them down a one-way street, according to local media.
At least three masked gunmen jumped out and ordered the victims to surrender their vehicle.
The driver, who holds a concealed carry license, drew his own firearm and a blistering shootout ensued.
“All I heard was loud noises after that, and my eyes was closed,” passenger Jaquita Sims told the Chicago Sun-Times.
“I heard [my co-worker] kept screaming my name, but I couldn’t answer him.”
After the firefight, the suspects fled the scene and the wounded man, who had been grazed by a bullet, drove Sims and himself to a nearby hospital.
Sims was treated for a gunshot wound to the chest and later released to recover at home.
Detectives reportedly determined the victim’s vehicle had been struck by at least 18 rounds during the shooting.
No suspects had been apprehended as of Monday, according to updates.
